Middletown, PA – The Powerball® jackpot is now offering an estimated annuity value of $580 million, or $278.2 million cash, for the next drawing on Saturday, October 22. “This is very exciting because if won, this would be the 10th largest jackpot in the Powerball® game’s history,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “We’re reminding our players that it only takes one ticket to win, and the proceeds are helping us generate funds for programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians.”  The Powerball® jackpot has been rolling for more than two months, and this is the second time this year that a Powerball® jackpot run has crossed the half-billion-dollar mark. In January of this year, tickets sold in California and Wisconsin split a $632.6 million jackpot.   The last time a jackpot was won in Pennsylvania was on August 3, 2022. In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run has generated more than $44.8 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $17.9 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.  If there is no Powerball® winner in tonight’s drawing, the jackpot for the Monday, October 24 drawing will be an estimated $610 million, or $292.6 million cash.
